Open your eyes Soccerman, the Tories are well and truly f*cked, for a start, you still haven't said "in Rishi we trust"!Originally Posted by JoePass
Perhaps he's not your 'type'.

lol. Just trying to keep up with how many more are turning their back on Sir Kneeler, aka Mr.Flip Flop. Still, he has his mate Corbyn to talk to, you know, that man he wanted as our PM….you just could not make this up. Lubbly jubbly.

How about we put words into money? I will match any stake you care to name that Labour get more seats than the Tories at the next election.
For regular readers, this is where Soccerman runs and hides.

I am really surprised that he hasn't come out with, 'In Dave we trust' as he did so often from 2010 - 2016

Although taken from such a miniscule amount of peoples voting intentions, it is very encouraging to see Reform with 10% of that figure.
I think there is scope for this to grow quite quickly now, with the Tories, and now Labour imploding. I think a lot of that Labour vote is from people who have been fed up with the Tories, so decided to just vote for someone different. However, with seeing Reform already having half the support of the Tories, and Labour in full squabble mode, their could be a big shift, especially with Farage getting good exposure to a different audience, in The Jungle, if he decides to jump aboard Richard Tice's ship.

I agree, very encouraging. I think that while Reform UK won't win a single seat, in most cases every vote for them is a vote less for the Tories.
And this is where you enter your little fantasy world again. That just isn't true.

I'm beginning to wonder if the next election will involve Sunak and Starmer. I can see both of them out in the new year

Interesting.... The SNP at the bottom of that pile is likely to get more seats than any of the above except Labour and Tory who are likely to be very close despite the large gap in the poll. It seems to me that this demonstrates all that is wrong with our voting system... mind you the alternative is likely to give a disproportionate voice to the likes of Reform.

Absolutely agree with the need to change the voting system. So-called 'Reform' are a mix of fruitcakes and bigots (some closeted, some not so much), but like the Kippers before them, they're entitled to fair representation of their views the same as everyone else. It's kind of inevitable that there's going to be some hard right party in some form, the only question is what form it takes and how far right it goes.
A good point someone once made was that UKIP was probably one of the most moderate hard right parties in Europe, and that harder right versions were possible, like the BNP briefly threatened. I know less about Reform, but I suspect that most of the hard right headbangers feel comfortable enough in the Tory party.
